[QUOTE="jamalkoiyess, post: 6003963, member: 579141"] The best thing you can do at the moment is to read as much as you can about the topic. When you go there try to stay humble at first and absorb all you can from everyone working on the topic to gain what they gained in experience. It is important to stay friendly and casual, without forgetting your serious work and without crossing lines. And one last tip: if someone in a team meeting is explaining something to you, and you don't understand it at all, don't you dare nod and ignore. They will expect from you then that you know that material while you were afraid to admit ignorance. However, if the idea rings a bell, maybe you can let it pass given that you research it extensively later. As I said stay casual and friendly, never forget to smile. As for clothing, nothing extra is expected usually, don't get too formal and don't go in flip flops :biggrin: [/QUOTE]
